Stephanie Frappart made history when she became the first female referee to take charge of a major men’s European match, officiating the UEFA Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea.

The 35-year-old has refereed matches in the third division of men's football in France and officiated in the Women’s World Cup in France this summer.

The official was heavily praised for her performance on social media, despite one contentious decision when she awarded Chelsea a penalty after Adrian appeared to bring down Tammy Abraham in the penalty area.

VAR looked at the decision, but decided the referee hadn’t made an error.
